CLASS
Contents

This record briefly explains some of the main features of the DNA-binding domains of transcription factor classes. In those cases where an amino acid consensus motif has been identified, the corresponding accession number of the PROSITE database (A. Bairoch) is included.

Fields

It should be noted that in individual entries some fields may be empty. In this case, these fields are not displayed.
